PlingBack

PlingBack is about collecting feedback and additional information attached to Places to Go, and Things to Do.

As of 18th April 2010 PlingBack tools are under active development.

The following notes aim to document aspects of that development.

What is PlingBack

PlingBack could be:

  • A comment or rating of a particular activitiy;
  • Web metrics showing how often a particular activity has been viewed online;
  • Numbers showing how many people attended or planned to attend at event;
  • The identification of demand for a given activity or activity type;
  • Additional information from a third-party about an activity, such as a web-link; a photo; or a video.
  • An assertion about the general relationship of one activity to another (e.g. this activity is preferred over this one).

PlingBack can be collected and expressed in many different ways. However, we are primarily interested in collecting it as RDF statements stored on the Talis platform

PlingBack Structure

PlingBack consist of a number of statements about a PlingBack blank node. (The talis platform provides a unique URI for Blank Nodes when they are posted to it).

We propose that PlingBack uses elements of the following ontologies:

It also invents a new ontology.

The following is a draft schema under development. Please suggest modifications via the discussion page

A subject

Usually a Plings activity, expressed through the <rdf:about> relationship. 

 __PlingBack <rdf:about> <http://plings.net/a/1234>

However, PlingBack could also be about:

  • A place
  • A local area
  • Any other entity in the Plings data store;

An application

The PlingBack application which is providing the data. 

 __PlingBack <pb:plingBackType> <http://plingback.plings.net/applications/sms_tool>

The Plingback application can, optionally, specify its version. 

 __PlingBack <pb:plingBackVersion> "0.1"

A respondent/reviewer

Specified using the commenter predicate from Review ontology which can either identify an individual specified using FOAF, or can point to a unique ID of an anonymised user. 

 __PlingBack <REVIEW:commenter> <__Commenter>

A maximal set of information about an individual might include:

  • Age
  • Gender
  • Location
  • Ethnicity
  • Disability
  • Disadvantage
  • Contact details

However, this demographic and personally identifying information should never be stored in a public data store.

An anonymised way of storing this information is required.
